zexy is the best because it has the widest range [0,1] :)
which is not true.
sorry, it wasn't meant seriously. I trust that all three implement
well, never mind. i understood very well what you were pointing at (but of course felt the urge to get things right ;-))
I just comletely fail to understand the reasoning behind having three wrap externals. I would be glad if one of you three could explain it.
i guess it is the same as ever:
- normally i only use zexy (because most things i ever need are in
there because they are in there because i need them) 2) this keeps me from having nameclashes on my machine: for instance i am using Gem a lot (no-na) but i don't want it in my .pdrc for testing purposes; using Gem+maxlib would result in the famous [scale]-problem which i am not very interested in (i mean: i am interested in the problem but not in having it) 3) thus i didn't know that the others existed. (even though it might seem strange that i did not realize that there was one in the iemlib) 4) i needed an object that not only wraps between [0,1) but between 2 arbitrary numbers, e.g. [-pi, pi).
now that i have learned of [maxlib/wrap] i see that it provides exactly this; the only problem i see with it is, that it defaults to wrap between [0, 0) which is not very convenient.
anyhow, i am thinking about restructuring zexy a lot, and i might drop [wrap] then (as i see, that mine is probably the youngest)
